According to an article in https://laist.com, Ah Men was “the first gay retail business in West Hollywood designed for rich men. The upscale clothing spot, which opened around the early 1960s, largely defined popular gay men’s fashion, with see-through mesh outfits and tight shirts” (https://laist.com/news/la-history/gay-west-hollywood-history-boystown-lgbt-inclusive-queer). The store was located on Santa Monica Boulevard, which, according to a 1986 LA Times article, was becoming by the late 1970s “the gentrified hub of Los Angeles’ gay commercial life” (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-06-01-tm-8671-story.html).
